For the 2026–2031 term, the Association aims to expand its membership network, enhance investment promotion efforts, foster cultural and educational exchanges, and promote English-language learning, thereby contributing to more effective international integration and the promotion of Phu Tho Province’s image to international friends and partners.

With the spirit of “Friendship – Solidarity – Development,” the Congress elected the Executive Committee of the Phu Tho Vietnam–UK Friendship Association for the 2026–2031 term, consisting of 27 members. Mr. Hoang Van Huan was elected President of the Association for the 2026–2031 term.
